Thanks Matt , fellow refractorholic .
I have gone out a got me another , check my signiture
. yep there is a new one in there somewere
. I am waiting for the other refractorholics out ther to spot it as well , heads up to you mate ,,,
.
Anyway Matt on the Vixen LV's I will say YES
Get them , they are such a nice eyepiece in every way , they do every thing just right , from their petite size and weight , so you forget they are even there ...
to there effortless high powers without a barlow , using our beloved refractors ,
and I have to mention the 20mm eye relief, thats
so easy on the eye and as I just said ,, they just dissapper. Nice .They become one with me anyway ?? .
I have done some compario's with my Circle T Orthoscopics in the 9 to 4mm range and its a hard call , the ortho's are sharper by a little but ,,, but their smaller field of view demands a well alligned mount
, and good drive and at these high powers the object is gone rather fast ....
But Matt I will recomend the Vixen Lanthiums without a problem , they are that good as an all round eyepiece .
One more thing they are the best for people to use that have never looked thru a scope before
.Because they are that easy to use , not like my awsome Ortho's .
Hope this helps mate .
Brian.
